Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that bus stops are accessible and safe for blind and visually impaired people.

The Inclusive Transport Strategy committed the Department to take steps to improve the accessibility of bus stations and stops. The Department is commissioning research to help us to understand the impact of bus station and stop design on disabled people and other users. This will inform future work on a accessible design standard and local council toolkit to improve the accessibility of bus stations and stops.
